It’s Tuesday, and therefore it’s Twitter Tip day! Try saying that if you’ve had a few eh!

My tip for today is to explain to you how to follow your competitors without actually “following them”. Did you know that you can add any twitter username onto a list without actually following them? All you then need to do is to import that list into your Hootsuite account and you can keep a beady eye on them to see what they are up to and no-one will ever know. Well, they will never know if you make sure that the list is “private”. And if you have been to one of my Twitter workshops then you will know how not making a list private has got me into trouble in the past.

If you have any questions on Twitter, or any other social media platforms, then why not try our FREE social media helpdesk online. We are open from 8am-8pm most days. Simply visit our website on www.green-umbrella.biz and I guarantee that you will talk to one of the Green Umbrella team, not robots!

Have a cracking day and I will check in with you again on tomorrow, when I have a top LinkedIn secret for you.
